Traffic slows as workers resurface Thepprasit Road

After numerous patch jobs, Thepprasit Road is being given a proper repaving following numerous complaints to city hall.

Ekachai Bunmee of the Mongkolthep construction company said 300 meters of road between the Pattaya Coliseum and the Pratamnak Hill intersection are being laid out in poured concrete. The two-phase job will take 15 working days.

Ekachai said the road had been patched by asphalt many times but was still damaged. Residents had been complaining, so the city Public Works department had used its maintenance budget to do a thorough resurfacing.

City fathers apologize to commuters for any inconvenience caused by the road maintenance, but have said it is somewhat overdue.

City officials apologized to locals for the deterioration of the road and promised any inconvenience and traffic caused by the roadwork would be only temporary.
